    Swiss version of the Red arrows flew over the wrong village - no wonder they're "neutral", eh?

    Read about this not ten minutes ago...

    St George?
    I hope i've got this wrong because I won't be able to post a question until Saturday, and then only if I remember.

    Actually, her is an easy question if I got that one correct.
    Where did the French hope to set up a colony in New Zealand?

    St George is correct. Apparently revered in Sicily too,... there was a big parade in an episode of Inspector Montalbano which inspired the question.

    Yes Yorkie. Just got back from there after a short break with the family.
    As for St George. He was imposed on the English by the Normans, who were worried that the original patron saint, St Edmund, would act as a rallying cry for English nationalists. They also got rid of St Edmund's flag of three crowns on a blue field and replced it with the red cross on white.

    Neuville beat Troyes 3-2 in the semi-final of the Coupe de France in a replay after the first game finished 2-2. What is the sport?

    After thinking about this - the obvious candidates such as football, hockey, polo etc. are probably not what you're looking for. Is it motorcycle football ?
